To log on to a source or target Teradata Database system, provide at least one of the following or an error will result during job creation:
- User name and password
- Logon mechanism and, if required, logon data
If both the user name and password and the logon mechanism is valid, Data Mover connects to the source and target systems using the logon mechanism, user name, and password. When only the logon mechanism is provided, Data Mover connects to the source and target systems using that logon mechanism.
Logon mechanisms are not supported for Teradata ARC jobs. Use logon mechanisms only for Teradata PT API and Teradata JDBC jobs. When using the create or move command, if -source_logon_mechanism or -target_logon_mechanism is specified and -force_utility is not used, Teradata PT API is used by default. Specifying -source_logon_mechanism or -target_logon_mechanism with Teradata ARC specified for -force_utility results in an error.
